How I Work
Your First Consultation
The first consultation can be from 1hr to 4hr depending on what time you need and how complex your journey is. This includes me getting your full medical history, reviewing any bloods, previous functional tests, your current diet/lifestyle/medication/supplements, giving nutrition, mental health stress management advice, advising how liver and other organs are effecting your health, discussing what we need to look at, what tests, medication and hormonal approaches may be needed to healing and ordering of any tests as well as referral letters for your gastroenterologist or GP for bloods
About Fiona
Fiona Murphy NOCN, ADFNP, MSc, BSc, CIDESCO Based In Sligo Healing clients skin gut hormones all over IRELAND, UK, EUROPE AND USA since 2009
I am training to be a functional medicine naturopathic doctor, Im not a medical doctor. Im a root cause functional scientist and iv a long 25 year history of dealing with my own gut health, mental health, skin health and hormonal health issues and healing for a decade.
I bridge the gap between the medical and the holistic health models covering areas within my scope of functional medicine, nutritional approaches, holistic treatments, some parts of gastroenterology, endocrinology, mental health, I discuss medication and psychotherapy approaches within psychiatry to calm the enteric nervous system. I teach you how the body works, how to selfcare, how to heal yourself from the inside out. I can also advise or holistic, alternative or unorthodox practices or unapproved or unlicensed supplements that can work to heal the body.
What I Ask Of You
There is no point coming to me unless you are ready to invest some time in looking after yourself, allow an hour or more in your day to make necessary changes, slow down the pace of your life, are ready to change some lifestyle habits, maybe some dietary changes but I dont do food plans with new 3 meals to cook per day as these are unrealisitic to overhaul diet in short time frame for a busy working person in 2026, I do a couple of tests and commit to following through with you through supplements, drainage exercises, detox approaches for 1-2 years.
Disease doesnt arrive overnight so it doesnt resolve overnight either. Food & Exercise is only a small part of what I recommend. I generally dont recommend supplement heavy protocals (Max 15 daily over 3 dosages) because of how they weigh on the liver-the important detoxification pathway of the body.
Wellness is not a quick fix as many systems in the body have to be addressed to get well. I help you work on your digestion, absorption, detoxification pathways, your lymphatic, adrenal, enteric nervous system to help your body recover from illness that begins in the gut. It takes time to get ones body into healing mode, it took me 3 years in total to get my gut well and I had a 10 year journey in total to recover from chronic stress numerous deficiencies fatigue, poor sleep and anxiety.
I will only work with you if you are serious about taking your health in your hands and if life is too busy maybe just mention this at the start of your appointment so I can address only a select few things for you to do at home and recommend minimal supplements that will have maximum effect.
